Designed with an emphasis on customer experience, the advanced virtual agent understands questions asked and written in everyday language, enabling quick and efficient responses, significantly narrowing the gap between query and solution. The technological enhancements also extend to support service agents by aiding in the creation of case summaries and knowledge-based articles, freeing them to focus on complex inquiries.
TAA’s advanced virtual agent operates in 10 countries, speaks six languages, and is integrated into 29 tax and accounting solutions, and the new enhancements will be first introduced in the U.S.

Harnessing the prowess of GenAI, the advanced virtual agent’s evolution is a testament to TAA’s commitment to improving and investing in technological infrastructure.
The new AI functionality within the advanced virtual agent also offers numerous benefits to Wolters Kluwer’s customer service representatives, including improved productivity through instant access to relevant internal information and administrative task assistance.
